User accounts

For a person to have access to a school's Chancery SMS system, that person must have a user account on the system. A user account consists of a user ID, matching password, and one or more associated roles [>>]. For a user account to operate, it must also have an associated staff record [>>].

Typically, each person has one user account. Since one user account can have more than one role, the user can switch between the roles within the account depending on the task at hand [>>]. At a school, we recommend that every staff member have a user account.

Note: If your school employs Active Directory, refer to the Chancery SMS Directory Integrator Guide for more information about working with roles, accounts, and staff records.

By default, a School Administrator can view the configuration of user accounts; a District Administrator can set up and adjust a user account [>>].
